Kevin Jennings founded the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) in 1990. Originally it was named the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teachers Education Network. Jennings was the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education from 2009-2011. In May of 2011, Jennings resigned from his Obama administration position and became President and Chief Executive Officer of Be The Change and in September of 2012 he became the Executive Director of the Arcus Foundation that is a LGBT-specific grant making organization.

Kevin Jennings, was the keynote speaker at the 2000 10th Annual GLSEN/Boston Conference.
Kids and teachers were bussed in from schools all across the state of Massachusetts.

The program for that conference can be found at this link:http://www.massresistance.org/docs/issues/fistgate/docs/GLSEN_Conf.pdf
Conference workshops include “Diesel Dykes and Lipstick Lesbians: Defining and Exploring Butch/Femme Identity” and “Ask the Transsexuals” in which “Three brave and enticing transsexuals tell their stories and answer your questions about transgender issues.”

Adam Glick writes that, “My extended family has actively reached out and made a place for our GLBT relatives on our family tree (literally, on the family tree with domestic partners being added and name changes for transgender individuals being added as well). I am proud of my family for embracing my niece who came out as transgender at age 5…”

This 2000 10th Annual GLSEN/Boston Conference was an important one. Mass Resistance has provided invaluable resource material on their website. I will quote from this link:

We have posted the actual audio recordings of
what went on at that March 2000 event. Children
as young as 12 were instructed by adults
(state employees!) how to perform a range of
dangerous and perverted homosexual sex acts.
